This is a great option for a day trip to Dollywood from Nashville. Excellent service. They were on time, they made a stop in the way to Dollywood and on the way back so we could go use the bathroom or buy something and then continue the drive. The bus was clean. They put some Dolly movies and that was great. Highly recommended ✨
Dollywood experience from start to finish was enjoyable. The tour bus operator/driver was courteous and friendly. Thankful for stop at Buckee’s on both the going/return trip not only for stretching of legs, but also purchase of food/drinks/souvenirs. Pick-up and drop-off location was great based upon our stay at Marriott downtown. Only downside was having Rhinestone movie on bus screen instead of other Dolly Parton movies Steel Magnolias or Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
Great experience got to watch Dolly movies on the way to Dollywood 🤠
Dollywood was a great experience. Our driver stopped at a Buc-eez on the way back to Nashville. I had never been in a Buc-eez as we do not have that store in Spokane, Wa. The driver was very knowledgeable about everything. If I could do this again I would. Unfortunately I have to fly home tomorrow.
Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your Dollywood day trip from Nashville with Gray Line Tennessee. It sounds like the journey itself was just as memorable as the destination, especially with a fun stop at Buc-ee's along the way! We love helping guests make the most of their time in Tennessee, and we’re glad this experience was one you’d do again. Safe travels home, and we hope to see you again in the future!
